Food For Humans Pt3 2/3 User Manual 4 Humans

that way it will give you diabetes and it will give you heart disease so not

only is it not good for you will actually create diseases eating that way

it says two to four fruit servings of fruits three to five servings of

vegetables and then you get meat poultry fish dry beans two or three servings

milk yogurt and cheese two to three servings and then at the top fats oils

and sweets enjoy sparingly so let's take let's take a look at that on the next

slide and let's see what those food nutrients what are they good for what do

they do for us so fat is one of the most important fuels that we have because

it's a high quality fuel that is absorbed very slowly it sustains blood

sugar and it's a very very healthy way of getting your your fuel fat also acts

as energy reserves that's how the body stores them fat is a major component of

your hormone system so cholesterol and quality essential fatty acids are very

very important for your hormone for your endocrine system fat is also structural

it acts as insulation in both for for thermal insulation and electrical

insulation for the nerves so fat has a whole lot of different functions and

some of them are are unique to fact we cannot do without it and that's why they

have something called essential fatty acids protein protein also has a bunch

of different functions it can act as fuel it can access reserves and half or

more of the of the hormones in the body or called peptides that's a subclass of

hormones and the proteins are also structural because

your muscles and all your contractile tissue is made of protein entirely so

protein and fat both have very important and widespread and unique functions and

you cannot replace with anything else carbohydrate on the other hand is fuel

only that's the only thing that carbohydrate is good for so in terms of

survivability and essential food stuff you can do fine without carbohydrates

you can live in long long healthy life with virtually no carbohydrates but you

cannot survive without fat and protein so in terms of importance just looking

at that fat and protein a very important carbohydrate not very important and yet

in the food pyramid they say fats and oils enjoy sparingly and for some reason

as if there was something bad about them they put fats and oils and sweet in the

same group as if they were related they have nothing to do with each other and

sweets yes those are processed carbohydrates you need to stay away from

them but fats and oils in a natural form the way they occur in nature is maybe

our most important nutrient so food pyramid forget all about it and next is

the cartoon there's this kids do giving this report he says the four basic food

groups are stuff that make me fat stuff that will make me sick stuff that will

kill me and stuff that I'll eat anyway so that's kind of how people feel about

food that there's been books written about why you can't eat every single

kind of out there so what what do you eat I mean

everything is bad right the old us for you for decades that meet this bad red

meat is bad and fish as bad as got heavy metals and sugars bad and fat is bad and

this and that bad so let's just forget all about that and start talking about

what food really is and what good food really is so good food is food that

contains fuel and nutrients for energy and building blocks that can be

converted to human tissue and think about that because this nail was food a

month ago this piece of skin was carrot or egg or spinach or something last

month so the whole purpose of food is to provide building blocks and to provide

the stuff that can sustain the body and give it fuel and materials for

regeneration next good food is food that is recognized by your enzymes and

receptors so if you put something in your body that the receptors and the

enzymes doesn't know what to do with it doesn't have a good key or puzzle piece

fit then your body won't know what to do with that so when we take a natural food

that has those proper pieces and we change it then the body doesn't

recognize anymore it's not a proper food a good food is food that will not wreak

havoc with your physiology and hormone balance so primarily again we're talking

about insulin sugars starches and alcohols will mess severely with your

blood balance and therefore with your insulin

which is one of the foundation key key factors in your in your endocrine system

and good food is food that your DNA recognizes so we have spend a little bit

of time talking about this that ultimately everything that you put into

your body has to be broken down into smaller pieces and those smaller pieces

have to be able to cooperate and fit and mingle with digestive enzymes and with

your body tissues so your body has developed over tens of thousands of

years and all the physiological processes and all the molecules have

developed a certain fit over time and it has done that because Nature has

provided a certain kind of food and that's how it is with every animal in

nature they are adapted over eons to their environment so whatever it occurs

in nature are things that fit your body that you're supposed to have and it

can't be any other way because then we wouldn't be here so when we talk about

history when we talk about a DNA we need to realize that the DNA of humor mo

sapiens is virtually unchanged for the last forty thousand years there's been a

mass of articles in literature and physiology literature's that state this

fact and they all agree for 40,000 years our DNA

has not significantly changed so when we think about that that means any food

that introduced in the last forty thousand years is new to the body it

doesn't recognize it and any food that has been changed is not recognized by

the morning so we look at this at this diagram here of historical adaptation so

if we have a timeline of 40,000 years that's a long long time forty thousand

years this is the period of time that we have blend on earth and for most of that

or since our DNA changed last and during that time we have mostly eaten off what

the land provides we have been what's called hunters and gatherers and so

those types of foods agree very well your body knows what to do with them and

it can it can function in a stable manner on those foods then we look at

the most not the most recent but the the major significant event in human history

is called agriculture and it occurred about 45 thousand years ago give or take

and when you look at it in perspective to the total range of time that we're

talking about the 40,000 years it is still a blink it is still a very very

short time four thousand years is nothing when it comes to to evolving DNA

so even though the Egyptians started agriculture and that seems like a really

long time ago it's not very long because we have the same physiology they have

now let's look at the time period that we have had processed food and grains

processed grains that's about a hundred and fifty years so for the last hundred

and fifty years or so we've had quite a bit of processed foods but it still

hasn't been dominating a food supply and then for the last 50 years and the last

even the last 20 and that's such a short time that if I was to write it

proportionately be so thin that you couldn't even see it and that's when the

dominance the majority of our food supply has been severely processed and

altered and there's an abundance of sugars and starches and not to mention

all the additives and food so frankly our bodies our DNA has absolutely no

idea what to do with that food and it has become most of the food that we eat

and that's why we are in such a bad state as we are so think about this what

what are the other animals on earth eat the basically they eat anything that

they can catch pick or gather so all of those are foods
